TextChatService Customization API Issue: Background Color Reverts to White During Fade-out Animation

I’ve encountered an inconsistency with the TextChatService Customization API (Using the new “BubbleChatMessageProperties” with “OnBubbleAdded”). When using custom bubble chat colors, specifically a black background with white text, the background color unexpectedly changes to white during the bubble’s disappearing animation.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Implement TextChatService Customization API
  2. Configure bubble chat appearance with:
  • Background color: Black
  • Text color: White
  1. Send any chat message
  2. Observe the bubble chat as it begins to fade out

Expected Behavior:

  • The bubble should maintain its black background throughout the entire fade-out animation

Actual Behavior:

  • The bubble starts with the correct black background
  • During the fade-out animation, the background suddenly changes to white
  • This creates an unintended visual transition

Technical Details:

  • Using TextChatService Customization API (BubbleChatMessageProperties with OnBubbleAdded connection)
  • Implementing custom bubble chat colors

Please let me know if any additional information is needed to investigate this issue.

I’ve actually experienced this before, so thanks for reporting. This also happens when your camera is far away, a workaround is to set both bubble chat settings in the service and the bubble function, as it uses settings in the service for animations (which is wrong)
